The more I think about the stranger the situation gets. Why would the two most wanted men in America rob a convenience store? Possibly to cause a distraction so the rest of their cell can escape? Ugh, my brain is too tired to think logically after watching this madness unfold.

Don't forget the part where you missed the whole point of what he was saying.

/Hm...let me re read. Nope, looks like he's more worried about the mental state of the asshole terrorist than anything else.

Not worried about it, just acknowledging it. It IS interesting, if the older brother was the leader of the pair. Now the younger, the follower, is alone without guidance from the older. His state of mind is absolutely relevant right now, and will guide his actions.

(yes this is supposition, as is farking everything else in this thread.)

/Point taken. And yes, his mind is probably farked up beyond fixing at this point. Well, beyond a .45 caliber slug going through it.

The first suspect was killed after exchanging gunfire with police officers, during which multiple explosive devices were detonated, police said. Officials at Beth Israel Hospital reported they received one patient who later died, but would not confirm it was the first suspect.

That patient came in under guard and had suffered blast, shrapnel and so many gunshot wounds that caregivers were "unable to count" them.

WinoRhino:BraveNewCheneyWorld: It was more than one or 2 people here claiming that they were domestic right wingers. Look, if you don't like how your cohorts make you look right now, maybe you should remember that for next time. Lying about it isn't going to help you.

With each post you make yourself look like more and more of an idiot. Cohorts? Because I post on the same huge web site? You're a complete idiot. Keep posting to underscore it.

You grouped yourself with them as soon as you decided to white knight for them. Who's fault is that?

WhyteRaven74:Fissile: Aren't Chechens some of the "good Muslims" that Murica aided and abetted in attacking the Russians?

Given the brothers haven't lived over there in ages? It may be completely immaterial as to where they're from. Indeed what they just did may have nothing to do with their place of origin, ethnicity, religion etc.

=====================

You know, America has come to the aide of other "good Muslims". Just wait until our Albanian "friends" come around.

I don't want to let my head go too far down the rabbit hole, but between that and locking down ALL OF BOSTON, yeah.. it's kind of a shiatter. I hope they're just stupid and the lockdown is just in case.

Dynascape:Also, Id be willing to bet my years wages that Russia is currently about ready to curb stomp anything that squeaks around the Chechen border, with probably tacit American "not-give-a-farkery"

At least. To anywhere else, I'd say we'd be sending "advisors" but I wager the Russians are well-equipped to "aggressively pursue" any leads within the Chechen border.

Fissile:Wait, I'm confused. Aren't Chechens some of the "good Muslims" that Murica aided and abetted in attacking the Russians? Didn't the US of Murica repeatedly condemn the Russians for dropping cluster bombs on these "good Muslims"? It appears that these Chechens made their way here from Turkey. Isn't Turkey a "good Muslim" country that is a solid friend to Murica, and, even more importantly, a good friend to Israel? Wasn't Bin Laden armed by Murica when he was killing Russians? Sure is funny how the "good Muslims" that the US encourages to attack the Russians always seem to end up turning on Murica.

GoldSpider:dittybopper: In other words, Massachusetts law is already much stricter that what was proposed and failed in the Senate the other day. If anyone tries to make political hay out of it, saying that's why we need universal background checks, it's likely to backfire.

Purdue_Pete:This is the worst possible scenario in my mind. Muslim Chechen Rebels make Al Qaeda look like Sparkle Ponies. They target children often and are armed with real modern black market weapons. They suck, but I thought we were kind-of-sort-of with them in their hatred of Assad?

When they make up the bad guys in movies, they use the Chechens as a model..

BraveNewCheneyWorld:InmanRoshi: BraveNewCheneyWorld: Remember just a few days ago when scores of you Dem loyalists insisted that this must be various right wing domestic groups? Go F*ck Yourselves.

Yep, you only went 1 for 2 on domestic terrorism this week with the TeaTard caught mailing in Ricin to Senators.

Politics of Peace

Except I'm not a right winger. I don't have to be a right winger to point out that Dem loyalists on this site are routinely a bunch of farking assholes with their habit of blaming their political opponents for everything that goes wrong.

With such reasoned responses like this...how could people not believe you?

BraveNewCheneyWorld:Remember just a few days ago when scores of you Dem loyalists insisted that this must be various right wing domestic groups? Go F*ck Yourselves.

Well, he was only 9 when he got here 10 years ago. That's long enought to be "Americanized" and then to get caught up with local crazies who may be perfectly content to let "the foriegn kids" do the dirty deed.

Two law enforcement officials told AP that Tsarnaev and the other suspect who was not immediately identified have been living legally in the U.S. for at least one year.

One or two are scores? You're a moron.

They've been in America for 10 years. The youngest was 9. The case could be made that they were Americanized, or at least exposed to American ideas and ways.

dittybopper:There are only two possibilities: Either they possessed the guns legally, and had a Massachusetts FID showing that they passed a background check, or they possessed the guns illegally. It's as simple as that.

In other words, Massachusetts law is already much stricter that what was proposed and failed in the Senate the other day. If anyone tries to make political hay out of it, saying that's why we need universal background checks, it's likely to backfire.

Does Massachusetts do a sanity check? I have no doubt it would not have helped in this situation, but it is a common sense approach.

Smgth:DamnYankees: Smgth: DamnYankees: Dude on CNN right now knows the suspect.

Good lookin out, thanks for the heads up. I had switched to MSNBC 4 hours ago.

I usually watch MSNBC but I loathe Morning Joe.

I LITERALLY haven't watched live tv news since 9/11/01.

Also it's not like ANY channel is going to have their normal programing on...

Same here. I slept through 9/11 and woke up to Bush talking about this terrible attack on every TV station. I had to go to the internet for info, and watched several of videos and looked at dozens of photos. I haven't gone back to TV news since.

/My guess would be (as to the reason for such idiocy) They were out of money, every law enforcement agency, federal agency, and redneck hunter was after their ass, and they felt trapped and desperate for cash and transport. They had close to 0 chance to get away, hence why they were wearing bomb vests. They won't be captured alive, and they know it. I'm sure that in most if not all police officers minds now, you see this surviving guy, you light him up, and keep shooting until he stops twitching. They wouldn't admit that publicly of course, but I would bet all the money in my pockets against all the money in your pockets that the local and state police are loaded for bear and spoiling for a fight.
